and realistically the speed our broadband is going tonight im not going to have the stamina to sit here and load pictures and come up with 10 points because i would be here alllllll night….
im blaming the storm….
so today i had a lovely encounter with someone i vaguely know through someone else and they watched me trying to negotiate an ice cream shop with my three 'i wanteees' and a 'grumbling, irritable, feeling crummy baby in a stroller' and launched the following, wonderful, uplifting remark at me….
' so…still struggling on then?'
Im sorry…but WHAT THE HECK?!!!…… am i still struggling on? Oh did i miss the sign that said someone else was going to look after my kids..or maybe that there would be a point (which again seems to have bypassed me) at which someone is going to come up to me and say 'hey now..enough struggling…let me burden some of that for yer?''….really? huh?..was it going to be this vaguely known to me man? or was it that he just couldnt think of anything else to say given the floor show? hmmm? 'cos really next time i'd prefer some flowers…..or chocolates…..or a smile…
Anyway I merely stared at him and thought 'idiot'…or something like that..and went on my way, as much as you can do when you have to corral three kids out of a shop, there is no flouncing off when you have three small people with their very own free wills to take with you….pfffftttt… someone lend me a sheep-dog please!
So yeah…on the subject of my wonderful, occasionally not so well controlled children..Here is my oldest girl doing her first ever piano concert. She is but 5, she was the youngest by a way that agreed to play and she has only been learning for a short while…but we are gut bustingly proud of her….
and that isn't even ten points for a tuesday that isnt…its hardly even one point…more like some inner ramblings…..
and maybe a touch of blown off steam….
